It’s back to school time! I love surprising my boys with new traditions and making memories which {{hopefully}} they’ll look back on and feel my love for them.
Today I’ve found a few new first day of school activities and traditions and a couple twists on the tried and true ones.I hope this year you’ll start a new 1st day of school tradition with your kiddos. It’s never to late to start!

Such great ideas!!! I make a “first day of school) cake every year. Since yesterday was the first day of school here in Hawaii I just posted about it! Check it out:

Some great ideas for the dreaded return back to school. I also read on another blog (might have been this one) about cooking a special breakfast on the first day back which I thought was an awesome idea and a great way to get the kids all set up for the day.

Giving the kids specific memories of their first day back to school will, hopefully, keep them eager to wake up and face the day ahead with vigor and enthusiasm. Special meals for breakfast (their favorite, of course), plus fun snacks will do the trick. Maybe giving them a sort of “star” records diary for keeping track of their achievements during the day will make them strive to excel during the lessons:)
